Trondheim Dolphins’ swimming classes are fun and friendly. Our relaxed atmosphere encourages the child and gives the parents the skills they need for everyone to be confident in the water. We know that children learn through repetition and we always move at the child’s own pace to ensure that babies and children feel happy and safe in the water at all times.
Frequently asked questions
| How long are the classes and when should I arrive?
Baby swimming Classes last for 30 minutes. Under current COVID rules do not enter the changing rooms until 10 minutes before your lesson. After swimming, you have 20 minutes in the changing room. It is important that we keep to these rules to prevent groups from overlapping. Child swimming Classes last for 30 minutes. Under current COVID rules do not enter the changing rooms until 20 minutes before your lesson. After swimming, you have 20 minutes in the changing room. It is important that we keep to these rules to prevent groups from overlapping. Please can you be poolside before your lesson starts so that the group before can exit the pool and enter the changing rooms without crossing over in the changing rooms. |
| What are the changing facilities like?
Male and female changing facilities are available at the pool. Shower space is limited so feel free to shower at home before coming / afterwards if you prefer. We provide a limited number of changing mats but you’re welcome to bring your own and we have a few high chairs as well. We do experience some congestion in the changing rooms at busy periods so we ask that everyone bears this in mind. |
| What should I bring and what should my baby wear?
Please remember that space is limited in our changing rooms so bring the minimum that you will need. All babies must wear swimming diapers to enter the pool. Disposable ones are available at most supermarkets or you can use reusable swimming diapers with neoprene over diapers. Babies can then wear swim suits over these if you wish. Make sure you have a cosy towel for your baby as they can get cold when they leave the pool. |
| Must the adult be able to swim?
Not at all, our pool is fitted with a level floor so the depth is consistent around the whole of the pool and adults are able to walk around it. Please feel free to let us know If you are not very confident in the water when you sign up. |
| Can both parents/carers come along? Can our family member come and watch?
Absolutely! We have a very relaxed atmosphere at Trondheim Dolphins as we know this helps the little ones to learn. We welcome both parents/carers in the pool and we also know what a special time this is for the whole family and love to have family members coming to watch the classes. |
| Can we join halfway through the term?
Yes! We are very flexible with start dates and you are able to start at anytime throughout the term. Please see the header page for details of how to sign up at anytime throughout the year. |
